I think the thing that N.E. Did that the Chiefs don't realize, is that when your good players become great players, YOU DON'T LET THEM GO IN FREE AGENCY.

It DOES look like your head coach will end this year with a winning % over .500 as an NFL coach. WOOHOO! Rose colored glasses are neat once in a while, but as a full time fashion statement they leave a lot to be desired. The Texans thrive in the worst division in the NFL. Good job See ya week two of the play offs at the pub watching the other teams advance.

Having said that, my team stinks on ice.

Thats some serious sour grapes. Are you still upset about that thrashing we put on you last year in your house?

I think the Texans D is going to frustrate Peyton, to the point where the Texans win a close one on the road.

I'm eh on Ohio State. That whole THE Ohio State University thing gets on my nerves though.

In terms of sports hate its
1. Titans
2. UF
3. Oklahoma
4. Colts

Always and forever.

Our lists are similar

1. Titans
2. Oklahoma
3. Cowgirls
4. Yankees

With the Patriots, Red Sox, USC, Forida, and the Braves being close behind.

i like the steelers (which is odd, growing up 30 min from cinci) and whoever is playing the bengals.

SF over the Vikings is an easy call. SF D is back and even better than last year, thus far. The Detroit score was closer than the game. Ponder isn't nearly the QB that either Rogers or even Stafford are.

Seattle and Green Bay. That has the potential to be a great game. I agree with most. It's going to be GB > Seattle, 21 - 17

It's sad to say, but Oakland MUST win this week. Otherwise, it is safe to say they are done. I knew this year was going to be a struggle, given the tone last season ended. This is getting scary. In both games, Oakland barely showed up. Palmer has put up OK numbers, but D-Mac is not running well.

49ers are the best team in the NFC right now no question.

Packers are 2nd best NFC team but not nearly as good as the Bears made them look last week.

At this point in the season, I'd give the edge to Atlanta as 2nd best NFC team. Packers are still a work in progress. In fact, I'd put Philly as = Pack right now because of both team's inconsistencies.

Bryant Gumbel let Goodell have it tonight on Real Sports in relation to the refs. He said if Goodell claims player safety is a priority, then why are billionaire owners arguing about thousands of dollars with the real refs while the safety of the players is at stake with inept refs on the field.

Well... I'm a homer... The Packers offense were considerably quieted by two good defenses, both at home. Coming to Seattle is a different place to play and will be earth shakingly loud for Monday night football. The key will be keeping it close at halftime as we usually start slowly. We cannot beat the Packers in an offensive shootout so this will really come down to our defense keeping it close.

I think we have a shot at home.
Packers - 20
Seattle 27

The San Fransisco Treat 35

Queens 13

Seahawks fans better hope their OL is a hell of a lot better than the Bears. Which I'm not sure is actually the case with Okung injured (again).

In which case Russell Wilson will be running for his life cause after two games Clay Matthews is on a record-setting pace for sacks. He single-handedly wrecked a Bears offense that had looked pretty good just the week before.

I think Wilson is a smidge more mobile that Jay "rock of Gibraltar" Cutler.

[jaywa]

Cutler can actually move pretty well... it's just that when 3 to 4 of his O-Linemen are blowing their assignments on any given play it's pretty hard for him to find anywhere to go.

I'll concede that point, LOL.

Yeah, 3 or 4 whiffs makes the pocket the size of an actual pocket. From being an O-lineman my whole life, I can tell you that no one gives a **** about the O-Line until they don't do their job. O-Line is the bassist of the football world.

Exactly!

I mean seriously, it's like a bassist, no one makes a comment until you miss a note, and then it's : "you ****ing idiot, your instrument is so easy. You only have 4 strings".

Same with o line. "all you have to do is block"

From experience, why don't you try out maneuvering a guy who's twice as fast as you and can grab on to whatever he wants, while you can only use your hands as blunt force weapons. It's hard. Oh, and guess who knows the whole playbook, while the wide recievers can't remember their own routes? yeah, this guy.

First of all no one said anything about the Texans being great. Even though they are universally agreed upon as a top 3 NFL team right now.

Titans fans are just jealous people. The Texans have a chance to do something the Titans have never done, (besides live in a worthwhile city) the Texans have a chance to win a SB.

Bring up the past because the Titans have no future.
